How odd, this winter, the theater season offered four golden titles. It started out with David Henry Hwang’s Golden Child, which dealt with the pangs of modernization from one generation to the next in a Chinese family. There was Terrence McNally’s play, Golden Age, recreating a backstage opera involving Vincenzo Bellini, There is Clifford Odet’s celebrated Golden Boy, about a boxer, which I will not see. The most satisfying, for me, was The Golden Land, the Folkbiene’s English-Yiddish musical by Zalmen Mlotek and Moishe Rosenfeld, about Jewish immigrants in the first half 20th century, beautifully sung and performed, heartwarming and touching.
